After much debate and discussion with numerous people, I swallowed my pride and went back to Full Ring. I think my play style is much more suited for Full Ring at the moment for one as well as being much more comfortable at Full Ring in general. I actually don't despise FR as much as I thought I would and find myself better, given the past ~50k+ hands at 6 max the past few weeks.
My staker has asked that I play no more than 10 tables for the time being at 50nl to learn things. This has helped out tremendously. I've noticed numerous leaks and misapplications of theories I was doing wrong, mostly due to not having the time to think out hands from playing so many tables. I know given some more hands I could play 14-16 just as effectively as 10 but for the time being I'm going to continue to learn and fix leaks.
The past ~7k hands have me up well over $400 between 50 and 25nl. I am running well for one thing but have also started to notice glaring leaks by many regs/fish and starting to exploit those. Hopefully I can crank out 20-30k hands before the end of the month and maybe be able to add some tables while at 50.
I found this site explaining the top 10 hidden images in cartoons and it's very interesting. I recommend taking a look at them. http://bezbrige.com/index.php/WoW/top-10-hidden-images-found-in-cartoons.html
Christmas is a couple days away and it feels so weird not seeing snow or being around family. I kind of had to sacrifice being around family for the holidays upon moving out here and given the past few weeks since I've lost a good amount of money playing poker. Overall though I am getting my confidence back and on an upswing for sure!!

Amen, the prodigal son has returned. I'm glad to hear it. 9-handed is the way the game was meant to be played; and even though I've flunked out of cash school, I'm yet still able to crush 8 and 9-handed donkaments. When you master these, then and only then is it time to move on to study Galfond and Moshman and find your inner 6-max and HU ninja. Shorter games seem like a handy shortcut, and, even when you know that, you may think you can cut others taking such a shortcut off at the pass, but there are no true shortcuts.
ReplyDeleteWell, unless you are Brian Townsend... but never mind that now!
But seriously: I get to trudge thru the snow to see family tomorrow. Didn't feel too nice about it until I read your post and now I guess I'll count my blessings, then. Have a merry X-mas!
ReplyDeleteSeriously wtf is your problem conan??? Im glad the highlight of your day is reading my blog and taking joy in my shortcomings, then when I do well you some how turn it into a negative.....im sure you are a great person in real life.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Dashornman, I know we've exchanged a few short words on the felt, and maybe I brought some of that here a while back (like early September?), which was wrong of me, but away from the tables, truth be told, I absolutely admire your grinding spirit. I'm rather jealous, to be honest, and I didn't mean my gentle chiding to come across as snide. I wouldn't have brought to your attention above to two of the best poker minds that I've found after years of research (and they are such
ReplyDeleteespecially when it comes to short-handed NLHE) if I wanted you to fail. If I didn't respect you and your game I sure wouldn't be here "tapping the glass" I promise you that. And while I don't recall ever mocking your success, and surely I haven't always bothered to celebrate it, if anything I ever said came across mockingly, I'm doubly sorry.
